I had a chat with my good friend (and teacher) Dave Ellis about the central role of a sense of contribution in a truly fulfilled and energized life. Pleaase watch this short (and inspiring!) video. And please consider joining us at Dave’s next seminar in San Francisco, October 27 to 29, which is all about […]
A friendship can be all kinds of things. People form friendships to avoid loneliness, to have fun, or out of convenience (like people who live next door to each other). However, there is also a special kind of friendship which we can all develop: one that deliberately and consciously fosters brilliance. You are both setting […]
In a few weeks, my new book Radical Brilliance will be published here in the U.S., and a few months later, it will come out in Germany. The book and its message are a new departure for me; and so, I’m writing this to people who have been reading my words or studying with me […]
At 13:11 European time, on Monday, May 8, while crossing the Atlantic Ocean on United Airlines flight 963, in the 61st year of my life, it has finally happened. Like the satisfaction of slotting into place the final piece of a jigsaw puzzle, like finally matching each and every lost sock to its mate, like […]

A few months ago, my friend Jonathan Robinson introduced me to Qualia, a new nutritional supplement produced by the Neurohacker Collective. It comes through the mail in two bottles, with jet black labels printed with gold ink. You take Step 1 on rising. I usually wash it down with a glass of lemon water with […]
This is an excerpt from Conscious Men, written by John Gray and Arjuna Ardagh. Contemporary man faces an interesting and unprecedented dilemma, one that our male ancestors have never faced before in this same way. If we go just back just a few generations, all over the world, it was very clear what you were […]
Back in 1991, there were two moments, separated from each other by just a few days, that changed my life forever. First, a little background. In 1991 I was living in India. I had already been pretty deeply involved in “spiritually seeking” for about twenty years. The giddy pursuit of “enlightenment” had by that point […]
This is an excerpt from Conscious Men, written by John Gray and Arjuna Ardagh. When men are in pain, the first tendency is often to withdraw and pull away. It is the primitive reaction of fight or flight. If a man feels trapped, instinctively he moves into defense or even into attack. So if you […]
Remember that old phrase: “Don’t do what I do, do what I say”? My grandfather used to say it to me. Well, I want to offer you the opposite suggestion today. I tell you a lot here on this site about what I have to say. Now here is something I actually do. Here is […]
That moment in the Matrix when Morpheus offers Neo the red pill or the blue pill is probably one of the most quoted and referenced moments in modern film. Why? I’d say that it acts as a symbol, a reference point for an instinct we all have of that one thing: the one pivotal decision […]
It has been a wild ride lately, hasn’t it? I have been extremely active on Facebook (you can find me here) posting several times a day to keep up with the crazy world we live in, and hence my blog writing muscle took a little rest. Well here we are, I’m back. The last couple […]
This is an excerpt from Conscious Men, written by John Gray and Arjuna Ardagh. When a man watches a woman, or even a couple, having sex on a screen and he masturbates, he will release huge amounts of dopamine, much more than he would with regular sex. During this kind of impersonal sex, very […]
This is an excerpt from Conscious Men, written by John Gray and Arjuna Ardagh. The great majority of women we have both worked with say they want to be with a man they can trust. For a man to do what he said he would do, but also to tell the truth about it, is […]
This is an excerpt from my book The Translucent Revolution: How People Just Like You Are Waking Up and Changing the World. In Shakespeare’s play Othello, the protagonist and his young Venetian wife are deeply in love. Othello is a noble and simple-hearted soldier who trusts those around him. Desdemona is devoted to her […]
This is an excerpt from Conscious Men, written by John Gray and Arjuna Ardagh. A Conscious Man forms deep, sustainable relationships with other men in a way that supports them both to deepen in their masculinity.

This is an excerpt from my book The Translucent Revolution: How People Just Like You Are Waking Up and Changing the World. As we deepen our practice of relaxing, waiting, and not knowing, we start to experience our points of view as if they were a variety of costumes. We dress ourselves up for play, […]
This is an excerpt from Conscious Men, written by John Gray and Arjuna Ardagh. We have both seen, again and again, that a woman feels more relaxed, more loved and more connected when she can speak freely about her feelings and her man can listen to her. It is not always easy or automatic for […]
